The boy shrugged. “I’m not sure,” he said cheerfully. “But this morning my sister was upset about one, my mom nearly fainted, my dad panicked… and the neighbor’s son joined the Navy.”
The Case of the Painful Diagnosis
A man visited his doctor with a serious concern.
“Doctor, everywhere I touch hurts,” he complained.
The doctor raised an eyebrow. “Everywhere?”
“Yes! My shoulder hurts when I touch it. My knee hurts. Even my forehead hurts.”
The doctor nodded thoughtfully, then said, “I know exactly what’s wrong.”
Relieved, the man asked, “What is it?”
“You’ve injured your finger,” the doctor replied.
Proof Required
An elderly woman walked into a shop and placed a bag of dog food on the counter.
“I’m sorry,” said the cashier, “but we need proof you actually have a dog.”
The next day, the woman returned—with her dog. She bought the food without issue.
The following day, she came back with cat food.
“Proof, please,” the cashier said again.
The woman went home, returned with her cat, and completed the purchase.
On the third day, the woman entered holding a small box.
“Please put your finger inside,” she told the cashier.
The cashier hesitated but complied. “It feels warm and soft,” she said.
“Wonderful,” the woman replied. “Now that you’re satisfied… may I please have some toilet paper?”
